High Tide

At their promenade stalls 
Stand the merchants of time 
They'll sell you an hour or so 
It won't cost more than a dime 

But what will you do 
With those extra grains of sand 
Is it better to live in the now? 
To move on with the day at hand? 

The tide is coming in 
It's time for them to go 
The merchants pack their wares 
They follow the ebb and flow 

As the restless waves wash over 
Counting endless days of never 
Slowly the time merchants leave 
Effortlessly blending into forever
